DNS Check

What is DNS?

DNS (Domain Name System) is the phonebook of the internet. It translates human-readable domain names like example.com into IP addresses that computers use to communicate. Without DNS, you would need to remember IP addresses for every website.

DNS Record Types Explained

• A Record – Maps a domain to an IPv4 address (e.g., 93.184.216.34)
• AAAA Record – Maps a domain to an IPv6 address
• MX Record – Specifies mail servers responsible for receiving email
• TXT Record – Holds text information, often used for SPF, DKIM, and domain verification
• NS Record – Indicates which name servers are authoritative for the domain
• CNAME Record – Creates an alias pointing to another domain name
• SOA Record – Contains administrative information about the zone
